BLOOMER CONSTRUCTION.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAcoB HOOHBERG, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and improved BloomerConstruction, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention has relation to garments and has particular reference toan improvement in ladies bloomers.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a bloomerconstruction which while affording ample seat room in order not torestrain the movements of the body and limbs when worn, will effect aneat fit at the waist whereby the outer garments will lie smoothly atthis point.

As a further object the invention contemplates a bloomer constructionwhich is comparatively simple and inexpensive and which is highlyeflicient in its purpose.

WVith the above recited and other objects in view, the invention residesin the novel construction set forth in the following specification,particularly pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, it being understood that the right is reserved toembodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the fullextent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the claimsare expressed.

In the drawings The figure is a rear View of the bloomers in appliedposition.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference 10 designatesgenerally a pair of bloomers having a rear inserted seat piece 11 whichis'of suflicient fullness to afford ample seat room. The seat piece 11terminates an appropriate distance from the upper edge of the garment,which upper edge is gathered as at 12 and secured by a line of stitching13 to the inserted'rear waistband strip 14:, Which waistband strip is oflesser length than the width of the seat piece in order that the samewill fit smoothly around the waist of the wearer to prevent puckering orbulkiness when the garment is applied. The upper edge of the waistbandof the garment is shirred as at 15 and provided with the usual elasticor contractile band. Under this arrangement and construction it will benoted that the required fullness is given to the seat of the garment ata sufiicient distance below the waist line to admit of freeness ofmovement of the limbs while bulkiness at the waist is eliminated inorder that the outer garments will lie smoothly at this point.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture a bloomer construction comprisingfront and side sections, said sections continous from the knee to waistline and the side sections extending materially to the rear, an insertedseat piece connected to the rear edges of the side sections from knee toa point materially below the upper edges thereof, and a rear waistbandstrip of less width than the seat piece sewed t0 the rear edges of theside sections above the seat piece, said seat piece being gathered atthe upper edge and sewed to the lower edge of the inserted rearwaistband strip.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a bloomer construction comprising afront body and leg portions extending around the front and sides and tothe rear of the wearer, said sections defining a rear opening from kneeto waist line, an inserted seat piece sewed at its side edge to the rearedges of the leg side sections from knee to a point below the waist linesaid seat section gathered at its upper edge, and a rear waistband stripof less width than the seat piece sewed to the rear edges of the sidesections and at its lower end to the gathered upper end of the seatpiece, said seat piece being of greater width than the said rear openingand transversely expansible to afford ample seat room.

JACOB HOCHBERG.
